Our Story
From a Portuguese foundry to a global industrial powerhouse, our journey spans five decades of steel excellence.
MSS Steel Tubes USA LLC represents the latest chapter in a story that began in 1971 with the founding of Metalogalva in Portugal. Over 50 years, the group has grown into one of the world's premier steel structure manufacturers, with industrial facilities spanning four continents.
When the opportunity arose to serve the rapidly growing U.S. solar panel manufacturing industry, Memphis, Tennessee, was the natural choice. With its unparalleled logistics infrastructure, central location, and skilled workforce, Memphis gives MSS Steel Tubes the ability to deliver high-quality steel tubes faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.
Our $6 million investment at 4129R Outland Road creates 129 new American jobs and marks the group's first U.S.-based production facility — a milestone in our global growth story.
